CATHOLIC INDIAN CONGRESS
HELD AT CROW CREEK
AGENCY, S. DAK.,
JULY 3, 4, 5, 1900.
I hope that the catechists increase the [ tion than those of Cheyenne. If any
The Program, as previously announc-
ed by Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Gorman was
duly executed:— every day High Mass
and sermon, general meetings and Be-
nediction. Owing to the rainy weath
er the last meeting was held in the
chapel, the Blessed Sacrament being
removed for the time.
July 3d, 3 p. m. the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Thos. O'Gorman opened the first gen-
eral meeting. With both hands, he
said, I offer you a warm greeting. I
had expected to see more people here;
but you who have come deserve our
thanks. In the old Testament we read
that, once the people of God were
saved through 300 men under the
Leadership of Gedeon. The 300 had
been chosen this way, — those who
drank out of the hollow of their hand
were elected. You are the 300 of the
Sioux tribes, you are the braves who
gave up the celebration of the Fourth of
July on the Reservation, to come here.
At our last Congress in Lower Brule
Agency three resolutions were passed.
Here are the results: 1. The proposed
letter to our Holy Father in Rome was
sent and we received his answer with
his blessing. 2. The new edition
of the Prayerbook then proposed,
is now in your hands. 3. You
wanted to have catechists. I have
now a certain sum at my disposal for
that purpose. The work of the cate-
chists is an important one: they should
go around and teach the children, also,
the adults, where the Missionaries can-
not go often. They should make use of
every opportunity to spread religion, by
speaking to those of their friends, who
are not yet christians, and by then-
good example confirm their own teach-
ing. By this new move I hope religion
will gain much. There are at present
15 chapels, and 13 priests are working
among the Sioux of South Dakota.
The Catholic Indians of S. Dakota
number between 6000 and 7000, that is
more than % of the entire Indian popu-
lation. I tell you this, that you may
know how strong you are, and that the
other denominations do not come near
you. This should encourage you, and
number.
Now let us hear the reports of the
Presidents of the different Societies.
They may also make suggestions for
the improvement of their societies.
Of the Rosebud Societies spoke: Wm.
Redbull. Jos. Garneaux, Louis Menard,
Jos. Jackson, Mrs. Duville, Flood and
Menard. They all expressed their joy,
to see the Bishop, and their regret, that
owing to the Fourth of July-celebration
at home, so few had come.
Paul Crow Eagle spoke as follows: -
We have no Catholic School at Chey-
enne Agency and only one priest, who
does all he can. The celebration of the
Fourth of July kept many at home,
though by remaining they lose so much.
The subscription for the paper seems
too high.
Cloud Eagle (Bad River:) We are
few yet. It is the whisky that makes
us weak.
Chas. Claikmont (mouth of Bad
River:) — I am glad that, we now have
catechists to help our priest to instruct
our chilhren.
Chasing Crow:— Some of us, still
continue, to practice secretly, the old
Indian habits; hide the bell under the
coat. Our Agents, instead of civilizing
us, seem to keep us on the old track.
Some of the St. Mary's Societies
spoke: — We do not do as our priest tells
us, and then we blame him for our
weakness.
From Maiden Creek (Witansnaun
Wakpa:) — There are only twelve of us,
but we work well together. Let us hold
fast to God, keep away from tempta-
tion, especially that of whisky.
Bishop; — I wish to say," how much I
love and admire the Catholics of Chey-
enne Agency. Their reports were high-
ly interesting; the Presidents show a
great deal of practical good sense. They
have only one priest, no school, no Sis-
ters; still there seems to be a great deal
of Catholic life. If they had as many
Missionaries, schools and Sisters as the
others, they would beat the other agen-
cies. Without making any definite
promise, I will try to improve your con-
dition, and you should pray that I may
succeed.
There is another agency, that makes
my heart sore, it is Sisseton Agency.
one from there be here present, I beg
him to come forward and give an ac-
count of their condition.
Joseph Laprambois: relates in a most
eloquent speech the great difficulties
the seventy -five Catholics at Sisseton
had, to get a church building. The
Presbyterians and the Agent, formerly
a Presbyterian Minister, were opposed
to them and did all in their power to
hinder them. In spite of all they finally
built a little church of their own.
Standing rock: In spite of great diffi-
culties we have come with five wagons.
I wish to support the desire of Cheyenne
that they may get a Catholic school
and more priests. Our souls should be
clean, our children instructed, the sick
tended to.
Pine Ridge, Louis Mousseau:— We
have eight societies, but we are weak
yet. The causes of our weakness are
many. The main reason is, that we are
too weak in faith and do not live up to
it properly We have three priests, but
one, does not yet speak the Sioux lan-
guage, and Father Bosch is sickly for
the past two or three years; once we
found him almost dead on the road,
when he had gone on a sick call. We
wish also the society -rules printed in
Sioux and English.
Bishop; — Tomorrow we will hear
those from Yankton.
July 4th. 3 p. m. Bishop:— If any one
from Yankton be here, let him come and
report.
John St. Pierre and Narcisse Drap
peau spoke:— They had neither priest
nor church.
Lower Brule:— We belong to the
Church for the past seven years. It
was the Catholic Church we wanted
from the beginning. First we were sixty
members; we asked for a church and
we got it. For the past two years it
does not go as well as it ought to.
There is too much work and we cannot
accomplish it. Some get sick and die,
and that makes our hearts wea«. Then
the white robes and congregationalists
come in, waiting for such occasions as
may prove favorable to turn some
around. It is for these reasons that I
said: it does not go as well as it ought
to, of late. «
Of St. Mary.s Society:— We have
heard the President's speech: sick peo-
come so fast on account of the river;
for that reason, 1 understand, some
turn back. Then, again, the Fourth of
July kept many back. This is the rea-
son so few have come. Now I see our
Bishop and believe that new life and
courage has come back to us. Our
good priests have to contend with many
difficulties.
Crow Crkek: I will state the reasons
why we are not well in our Society:
we have our rules, but do not keep
them well; we do not remember the
Prayer and do not live up to it. Our
priest has gone into a hole, as he said,
and has not yet come out. When he
comes out, we will fare well again.
Thos. Flood, (Rosebud;)— One rea-
son of our being so few I wish to state:
It is the officials under the President
and the Agent, Many more wished to
come, but could not, because they forc-
ed the children to stay at school.
Those people are in a still worse condi- pie call for the priest and he cannot
Bishop:— Having heard your reports I
understand better the condition of
things. In many of the societies there
has been a standstill, in others a going
back. A great many reasons have been
given for this condition of things. Some
of the causes neither you nor I can help
right away. There are other causes for
which we can find a remedy at once:
1st. I find this cause: — by the Fourth
of July the old Indian customs come
back: 2d. the other cause is the authori-
ty the agents have over you; I mean au-
thority in cases as Mr. Flood has just
mentioned. Now, these two causes we
can settle right away. As for the old
Indian customs: remember that the
Catholic Sioux are only one third of the
whole nation. Thus you see that
there are two thirds of your nation over
which the Church has no control; and
if they want to go back to their old hab-
its, we cannot help it. Of course those
two thirds are a great temptation for
some of our Catholics. All we can do is,
to preach to those that are weak, and tell
them it is wrong to go back. — It is true,
there is something else the Bishops can
do with regard to this point: We can
speak to the authorities in Washington
and try to couvince them that it is
wrong to let the Indians slip back on
the old road. But I cannot promise
that we will succeed in it. Therefore
all we can do, is, to see, that our present
Catholics are not carried away by the
others.
AUGUST, 10, 1900.
The 2d cause:-The great authority of i we could not change that. Crow Creek
the Agents and Superintendents of ! is a school belonging to the Church;
Schools. The Agent has the power to
tell you, to which school to send your
children; the Superintendents of Gov-
ernment Boarding Schools have the pow-
er to forbid your priests to say Mass and
hear confessions. Now, this power of
Agents and Superintendents, forbidding
the priests to instruct your children etc:
is wrong. It will take time for the Bish-
ops, to remedy and correct these two
things. All the Bishops of the Couutry
are at work to better things; but it will
take time, and meanwhile we cannot do
anything, but have patience, we hope to
succeed, especially in the first point;
your right to send your children to
schools of your choice. The rule deny-
ing your right was not made by Con-
gress, nor by the President, but by an
inferior official, the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, and we Bishops will ap-
peal to the head. It will take time.
Now we come to other causes we can
settle ourselves. Some years ago Rules,
were made for the St. Joseph's and St.
Mary's Societies. Those Rules, I un-
derstand, from your reports, have been
forgotten and often are not kept. It be-
longs, of course, to the Bishop: to make
the rules and give them to the Societies.
I will draw up some and they will be
read to you. They must be kept, and
if that is done, it will work better. It
is my wish, that the Societies have a
great deal of freedom in the affairs,
with which they have to deal, the control
of the money; but one thing is absolute-
ly necessary and required, that no One
can be a member of the Society, but a
practical Catholic; heathens and Pro-
testants cannot be members. Do hot
misunderstand it: It is not necessary,
to be a member of the Society, to be
a Catholic, but it is necessary to be a
Catholic, in order to become a member
of the Society. We wish that all Catho-
lics become members of the Societies,
but we do not force them. — One more
remark: The Societies should be a help
to the priests; but do not be too exact-
ing for your priests; they cannot be pres-
ent at all your meetings, you do your
own business; only questions of import-
ance should be decided by him. The
next question coming up before this
Congress is, the Catholic Schools.
There are schools at Standing Rock,
Crow Creek, Rosebud and Pine Ridge.
The School at Standing Rock is a Gov-
ernment school with Catholic teachers
paid by the Government. This is all
right as long as the Government keeps
the Catholic teachers; but the time may
come, when the Government may dis-
miss the Sisters and send other teachers:
therefore, properly speaking, a Catholic
school. For the past four years this
school has not received a cent from the
Government; still it lives and goes on.
I mention this school of Crow Creek,
because in future it, as also, those in
Rosebud and Pine Ridge will receive
nothing more from the Government.
But as the Crow Creek school did not
die, neither will those of Rosebud and
Pine Ridge die. The U. States Catho-
lics will keep them going all the same.
The Government money is gone, gone
forever. For years we will not be able
to build schools, where it would be ne-
cessary; for many years we will have
enough to do to keep up the already
existing schools. Hence the work of
the catechists becomes so important.
They have to instruct the children in
religion- The money of the Government
being gone, we now, request only one
thing from the Government that is:
liberty, to send the children to Catholic
schools, wherever they exist; and as I
have told you we hope to get this liber-
ty. If any one wishes to speak about it,
he may come forward.
John Arcovend (Rosebud) advocates
most earnestly to send a delegation to
Washington, to ask for their rights;
and in case they could get no hearing,
to publish it in the papers.
Charles Half (Cheyenne:)— I do not
understand, why the President does not
give any more money to keep our
schools running, which were built by
the Blackrobes. Our priests work
hard and for God's sake; there are many
Bishops and also, a Pope across the
ocean; I should think they will take it
in hands and obtain for us our rights
and our money.
we are men, and should take care of be printed in both English and Sioux.
ourselves, not always asking our Bishop
and priests to do this and that for us.
We should find out what has become
of the money, to which our children
have a right, as well as the rest. Some
smart young man should be sent to
Washington to find out.
Bishop: — One or two of the speakers
have raised an important question and
expect my answer. What has become
of the money there is, for the education
of our children? I, myself, am not quite
certain, and have no clear understand-
ing as to how the appropriations are
made. The hint the last speaker gave,
to send a delegation to Washington is a
good one. If you know of an intelligent,
good Indian send him there; under the
direction of the Catholic Bureau he can
obtain good information. Think over
it; tomorrow will decide.
July 4th (Indian Chapel.)
Bishop:— I wish to speak to you
about your paper, the Eyanpaha. Fa-
ther Jerome is discouraged; he does
not receive money enough, to defray
expenses, and he wants to give it up.
I will write him and beg him to try it
for another year. On your part you
have to try and do better than you have
done so far. All the societies must
make an effort to collect more money
for the paper. I hope the catechists
will use their influence in the camps
and gain subscribers.
There are representatives here from 7
Agencies viz: Pine Ridge, Rosebud, Sis-
seton, Cheyenne, Lower Brule, Standing
Rock, Crow Creek, Yankton. After
their return home, let them recommend
the Eyanpaha.
John Francis Tatanka Makallipaya
recommends to help the Sissetons to get
a priest, and ask for help in the pres-
ent school trouble.
Louis Mousseau (Pine Ridge; — We
often hear women crying all night for
their children, who have been taken
away from them by force, and put in
schools, where they do not want them
to be; they wished them to be in the
Catholic school. I could easily get six
hundred signatures for a petition, re-
questing our liberty in this regard.
Besides, I would like to get a clear
idea about the school-fund money. Is
the appropriation for the schools made
according to the census? In Govern-
ment schools, $167.00 are appropriated
for each child. Why not for our Catho-
lic children? The Bishop has told us,
you are no longer papoosee; that is true,
Yesterday I told you that the Bishops
of this Country will do their best, to
obtain the liberty of the parents with
regard to their children. The Archbish-
ops meet iu October to consult about
the welfare of the Church. The Pre-
sident of this meeting is Cardinal Gib-
bons. To him this Congress will send a
letter asking his assistance in the case.
The President of this Congress will sign
the letter, so their attention v/ill be
1 drawn to this matter.
Before the Rules of the Society are
read. I will make one remark: — Only
practical Catholics can be full members
of the Society, wear the badges, elect
or be elected for an office. Those who
are not Catholics, may be present at
your meetings, to listen, to see, and to
learn as candidates, but these latter, the
candidates, have no vote, and can have
no office in the Society. The Rules will
The Rules are read. —
About the future Congresses I have
decided, that one year it shall be in So.
Dakota and the following year in North
Dakota.
If it be held in North Dakota, all
the Catholic Indians of North Dakota
are expected to go there; those of South
Dakota may send as many delegates as
they wish. The same way, if the Con-
gress be held in South Dakota, most
of them will be from the South Dako-
ta Agencies, and the North Dakota
Agencies will send their delegates.
Thus, in fact, we will have general
Congresses. The Congress will be in
Cheyenne; the people of Cheyenne may
determine the place on the Reserve,
where the meeting will take place, and
then publish it in the Eyanpaha.
One more word: — When whites have
Congresses, they are not fed by the
people, they bring their own grub along;
only one dinner is served, during which
speeches are made. So I wish you to
do the same; This is easy enough for
groceries. As for beef there will be a
butcher shop near the place of the
meeting, where they can buy it. My
main reason for this change is not be-
cause the Whites do so, but to abolish
an old Indian custom called OTUHAN-
PI the giving away. There will be
outlays enough for those who live,
where the Congress is held, as the booth
or shed, wood etc.
Now it remains yet, to determine the
date of the next Congress.
Louis Mousseau proposed the 10th of
July, J. Arcovend. Thomas Flood and
others acceded. When it came to the
vote, however, the Fourth of July had
the majority.
Instead of sending a delegation, it
was proposed to send a petition to
Washington, which the Bishop promised
to forward.
After a few words of thanks and
good wishes to the Bishop, the Con-
gress came to a close.
A Protestant Edified.
Two gentlemen were passing the
Brompton Oratory— one a Catholic and
the other a Protestant. When they
came infront of the church the Catholic
raised his hat and the Protestant did
likewise. A moment later the latter
asked the former whom it was he had
saluted, as he had not noticed any per-
son in particular returning the "bow.
The Catholic explained that it was his
custom to salute, in that manner, Our
Lord present in the church. The Pro-
testant was edified and pleased that he
could not refrain from telling the event
to every friend he met, and his admira-
tion for the Catholic gentleman in-
creased a hundred fold. We merely re-
late this simple incident as an illustra-
tion of how much a Catholic has to gain
by the observance of the Church's rules
and by showing an unostentatious re-
spect for all that belongs to faith.—
